OnePlus One features a 13MP Sony Exmor IMX214 rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera

The CyanogenMod-based OnePlus One is shaping up to be a really nice smartphone, especially considering its expected retail price, which should be lower than $400.

Today, OnePlus confirmed new features for the upcoming handset. So we now know that its rear camera is a 13MP Sony Exmor IMX214 one. This was chosen because the smartphone’s aim “is not to compete with DSLRs, but to offer a portable product that performs well in real-life conditions (without an ugly protruding camera).” The 13MP Sony camera has a f/2.0 aperture (good for taking photos in low-light environments), and “unique 6 lens optics” to “avoid any low aperture distortion while also enhancing the image quality and colors.” There is also Image Stabilization Plus (IS+), but it’s not clear if this means Optical Image Stabilization, or just enhanced Digital Image Stabilization. As for video, the camera can shoot in 4K, or in 720p at 120fps. The front-facing camera of the OnePlus One will be a 5MP unit.

It depends if you like your Nexus 5 or not. It does seem One+ is going to be a pretty good phone. I only have one concern. Since they are a new company, their software might be ehhh. But I think it's going to run on CM. So I would wait until the phone comes out for a week or two and see the review to see if it's worth it for you to upgrade from Nexus 5
